Garlic Mashed Cauliflower for the Cool Weather Win

I tell my husband all of the time how much Q4 (October-December, with a few extra days in September!) is my absolute favorite time of the year.

This time starts with my husbands birthday on September 23rd and ends with my birthday and New Year’s Eve.

The weather (finally!) starts cooling off a bit here in Texas and all things pumpkin spice and comforting start to appear on the table. (Like this mashed cauliflower recipe!)

One downside with these three months of the year is how much unhealthy food seems to surround us.

For some reason, much of our culture tends to associate comfort food with unhealthy food… but it doesn’t have to be that way!

This roasted garlic mashed cauliflower is the perfect example of how eating healthy can also make you feel all warm and cozy inside.

For those of you with super acute taste buds, you may be able to tell the difference between regular mashed potatoes and this roasted garlic mashed cauliflower.

However, those of you with not-so-picky palates will hardly be able to taste the difference. But I can promise you this… your waistline will be able to tell!

Coming in at a mere 111 calories and 3 net carbs per serving… this roasted garlic mashed cauliflower has become a new favorite, Paleo and low-carb side dish in our family.

Health Benefits of Garlic:

Did you know that garlic has been shown to potentially reduce blood pressure, reduce the length of the common cold, and lower cholesterol levels?

Roasting garlic brings out these nutritional benefits, makes it easier to digest, and just tastes amazing!

Hi Sheree! I think it absolutely will. Make sure you buy an unsweetened kind and it should work great. If your husband likes cashew or coconut milk, those will substitute well, too! Thanks for the question!

Hi. Thank you so much for this recipe. When I made this last night, it was delicious! But it was more liquidy like a Cauliflower Soup?? I followed the directions (including putting cooked cauliflower on a towel to dry before processing it. The only difference I can see is that I used a Vitamix (not a Cuisanart food processor) to chop cauliflower & add all ingredients too?? Could that be why it turned out more like soup? Oh–by the way–I didn’t like the idea of wrapping the garlic in aluminum foil. Instead, I prepared the garlic just like you said, but placed garlic on a steel cookie sheet with an oven safe glass bowl over it & put in oven for 45-60 minutes. DELICIOUS!

Hi Carissa! Using a Vitamix could have definitely resulted in a more liquidy texture. The Vitamix might chop it too finely as well as puree the “potatoes” too much. I love your idea of placing a glass bowl over the garlic! I am always looking for new ways to avoid using aluminum foil too much!
